Palazzo Donati

[1] The first known information dates back to 1663 when Doctor Mario Albergoni, descendant of a family ennobled in 1519, lived in the property.

[2] Cristoforo's son, Marc’Antonio Maria, died childless in 1757 so the mansion was inherited by his second wife, Isabella Vimercati Sanseverino.

He held it for very few years, selling it in 1781 to Giuseppe Vimercati; he too owned it only for a short time: in 1788 he sold it to Bartolomeo Bettinzoli.

[1] From 1868 onwards, various owners alternated who used the palazzo for both residential and office purposes until reaching, in the 20th century, the Donati De' Conti.

The eastern wing is the one containing the staircase that ascends to the upper floor with three flights and is illuminated by a helical window in the vault.
